We did a 3 hour walking tour with Aurora on our first day in Dublin. She took us to several amazing places including Dublin Castle, Trinity College, GOP building, Christ Church Cathedral, St Patrick’s Cathedral, a couple of beautiful gardens. She was very knowledgeable about the city and pointed out many interesting facts along with some history. She made two excellent restaurant recommendations for us and took me to get a flat iron as mine wouldn’t work with the converter/adapter I brought. She was even kind enough to walk us back to our hotel after the tour since we hadn’t learned our way around the city yet.

We just didn't do the tour. At 4pm appointed time, we were waiting in the hotel lobby as written (punctuality is recommended).
But nobody shows up. Written on WhatsApp to Raquel of which we had been sent contact... No Response. We call and he tells me he's still in the car and it'll take half an hour.. But we can tour comfortably tomorrow...
Now two things:
In Dublin the monuments the churches etc at 6 close... So the delay was unacceptable and our 4 hours would be of no use.
The next day we obviously had other reservations, staying here 3 days we set everything up.
And now? Tour already paid through agency...
But it's not that. It is that certain and happy, given the few days, to invest in a private tour that accompanied us to see everything knowing the routes we did not organize the routes. So we had to rush information and roads to see everything.
I don't know this company, but I'm telling you... Choose people better. From a private and personalized tour you expect at least... Let there be.

The organizer cancelled the tour at short notice (14 hours before!!). He claimed that he had not been able to get a German-speaking guide. And more worse, he could not offer an English-speaking replacement either!! I booked 4 weeks in advance and only came to Dublin because of this! My advice: Book another provider…

My teenage son and I had a great walking tour with Sebastián. We had just arrived into Dublin from the USA and couldn't get into our Airbnb until later. It was a great one on one time with Sebastián. We felt like we were visiting a friend. He was great showing us around the city. This was our first visit to Dublin and we really got a lot out of our personalized tour with him. My son hates guided tours. Usually when we visit other cities I always try to book a Segway tour for him so they are more fun. My son. Gabe had a great time on our local tour. Sebastián was fantastic! Highly recommend a personalized tour.

We had a wonderful tour with Aurora thru Dublin. She was so well informed with Irish history. Plus she took this at a great pace so we truly enjoyed a stress free tour. We would highly recommend this tour for an overview of Dublin.

We had Elisabeth as our guide through Dublin city. She did an amazing job. Took us all around, in our 3 hours together we were able to get well aquatinted with the city, see many of the sites plus more we didn’t even know about all while learning more about the history of Ireland and interesting facts about the city. Elisabeth also gave us lots of good advice for good places to eat, drink and shop. It was an excellent experience and I cannot recommend this tour enough. This was my 3rd Lokafy tour and I plan to take one in any city I visit in the future!
